Christmas

One of my friends was teasing me about my last post and how I was saying how much I loved Christmas and then I didn't post the entire month. I really do love Christmas but December was so crazy, I never had any time to update our blog. So here is a condensed version of our month. We had a great Christmas and did lots of fun things. We went to seven Christmas parties, Nate and I went to the Forgotten Carols for the eighth year in a row, Daxton got to sit on Santa's lap, went to the Voice Male concert with our friends, went to the movie and Spaghetti Factory with my family (tradition), lots of crazy Christmas shopping, went Christmas caroling with Nate's family (we do it every year), went to Island Park snowmobiling with my family, spent time with family and friends! Daxton got the geo trax set that he has been dying over for about three months now. He also got a pirate ship, helicopter and motorcycles. Talan got some new baby toys and clothes. I got xm radio for my car, a jewelry box that stands on four legs, perfume, clothes and gift cards. Nate got clothes, shoes, a spoiler for his car and cologne. I always get sad when Christmas is over but today I am taking down Christmas and I'm ready, it looks yucky when it's over. I am posting lots of pics so be prepared!

Nate's grandma came to stay over Thanksgiving so we took a four generation picture.


Talan loves his jumperoo!


We had a Christmas party at our house and busted out the rock band! It was hilarious, Justin rocks on the drums!

You are just about like me on posting, Christmas time is so crazy and busy. Talan is getting so big. So many fun memories you made over the holidays. We really need to get together.

OKAY-I look like a dude playing a guitar! Cute pictures-I'm glad you posted, finally! I need to put some of the video of sledding in Island Park on my blog-it is hilarious. By the way...I'm having Talan withdrawals. Love him!

Couple of things. 1 - it's about freaking time. 2 - I appreciate you saying it, but not so cute of me. 3 - Your kids are freaking cute. I'm mad we couldn't come to the Christmas party.

Nate's mom should make me a quillow. I love those things.
